This map makes it easy for potential hunters to see which areas may be best suited for their hunting needs.

Kansas has many great public areas for walking in hunting for those who are interested in quail hunting. Milford Wildlife Area offers several thousand acres worth of timber. Good options include Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge or Council Grove Wildlife Area.

B.K. Leach Memorial Conservation Area located in northeastern Lincoln County. In 1985, 500 acres were purchased from landowners willing to sell the original tracts. To purchase the remaining 2,900 acre, a North American Wetland Conservation Act grant of $1000 was used in 2001. The area is one of the top buck hunting locations in the state.
Kansas's walk-in hunting program allows public hunters to hunt on private land. The WIHA program has been one of America's most successful hunting access programs since 1995. In 2004, the WIHA program was used on over one million acres. Hunters can hunt deer, waterfowl, or squirrels in certain areas. WIHA offers landowners a modest amount of money to let the public hunt on their property. The amount of land included and the duration of each contract will impact the payment.
Ozark National Forest
You might be a turkey hunter and wondered if you could walk on Kansas private land. It's possible. The Ozark National Forest, located in southeast Kansas, is 678,878 acres and is accessible to walk-in hunters. The land is a mix between hardwood and sagebrush forest with some clover/wheat entrances. Hunting is permitted in 10 designated areas with their own rules.
Some hunters prefer to drive to these walk-in areas and stay overnight. A lot of walk-ins are located on U.S. Forest Service lands. So, the more time you spend, the higher your chances of harvesting birds. Most Missouri walk-in areas offer primitive camping, but the Bell Mountain area is great for backpacking hunters. It is also an ideal destination for a family vacation as well as a romantic getaway.
